Black Friday 2025 Is CANCELED!

 This year 2025, Black Friday is canceled! There are very few deals on good items, only loads of crappy stuff you do not want, who cares about the price of useless items.

 Only 1 page of "deals" on external ssds, almost all being a single Crucial or Lexar product (good products at least.) The price is the same as a few months ago though, so where is the deal?

 Internal SSds? FOUR products and that's it. Again Crucial leads the way. At least these can claim to be actual deals, meaning they cost less during Black Friday week than they did before.

 Asus ProArt monitors? More expensive for most models on "Black Friday Deal" than they were a few months ago! Dell monitors? Barely discounted by a meager 10%. LG monitors? Same price as a few months ago.

 Almost no Apple computers deals, MacBook Air same price as early November. Apple Watch 10% discount at best on an overpriced item.

 Cameras? Lenses? You'll be lucky to find a 10% discount. Again Black Friday Deal is nothing more than the same price as a few months ago. Since then, the price was artificially jacked-up, and look, magic 10% off deal! Wow, really? Nope.

A few good deals on audio items. DJI Mic Mini combo wireless microphone 45% off at $66. Presonus Eris E7 XT Active studio monitor 16% off at $118. No deals on JBLs, no deals on Kali Audio. Universal Audio interfaces on "Black Friday Deal" are more expensive than they were for most of last year. No deals on MOTU, Mackie, Focusrite.

On the software front, at least Waves is having its usual Black Friday discount sale. A good time to grab the Gold Bundle for $99, or useful plug-ins, like Clarity Vx, or Vocal Rider, for $29.

PluginBoutique has some good deals by FabFilter, SSL, Celemony among others. Cyber week sale ongoing at Plugin alliance. As always with plugins, watch for EOL, or frozen in time not so useful items.

 Anyway, we are broke! Our groceries are 25% more expensive than last summer. Which was already 25% more expansive than after Covid. 

 So this feels like an encouragement to not spend any money. Although we've been on economic blackout for a while, so it's not like we're gonna perform just for Black Friday week, Cyber whatever.
